Eternal Sword

Chapter 606: Destroy Guo in a false way

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Chen Tang asked, "I heard from the Desert Bandits that you were involved in the Wusun civil strife and the Kunmi dispute. What's going on?"

"Well, it's a long story."

Li Shuhu sighed and said, "My father was recommended by the King of Wei to serve as the governor of Liangzhou, which was a way to get away from the troubles of the capital."

"Liangzhou is the hometown of our Li family. In the past two years, my father has managed it well and implemented benevolent policies, attracting people from other states and counties to settle here, and gradually becoming wealthy. Among them, there are even some foreign tribes who come to trade and live here, and my father treats them all equally."

"In the past two years, many barbarians have moved south. Relying on their powerful tribe, they have become increasingly arrogant. I heard that they have caused a lot of trouble in the capital, but nothing was done about it in the end."

"Some time ago, a few barbarians violated Daqian laws in Liangzhou City and were beheaded by my father's order!"

Chen Tang nodded.

This is how we should treat everyone equally. Rewards and punishments should be fair and strict, and there should be no discrimination.

Otherwise, people will become restless.

Li Shuhu said: "As a result, the leader of the Wild Lion Tribe learned about this and flew into a rage. In less than a day, he gathered a total of 100,000 Wild Lion soldiers and marched to Liangzhou to avenge his people."

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "This is obviously just an excuse made by the barbarians."

If we want to prepare to send out troops, we need to prepare many things in advance, such as food, training, mobilization, etc. How is it possible to mobilize an army of 100,000 in one day?

Unless it has been prepared for a long time and is just waiting for the right time.

"good."

Li Shuhu said, "Father saw the stakes and sent an urgent message to the capital for help. He also asked my second brother and I to prepare valuable gifts and go to Wusun to persuade the Great Kunmi of Wusun not to open the border and allow the barbarian lion army to pass through."

Chen Tang asked: "How is this related to the Wusun Kingdom?"

Li Shuhu fumbled around his body, took out a map and spread it out in front of Chen Tang.

The information on the map is quite dense. In addition to Beiqian and Nanxia, ​​even the Wusun, Xiling countries, the six barbarian tribes in the north, and the Far North Cold Region are all included.

From this perspective, the territory of the barbarian land is vast, located in the north of Liangzhou, spanning east and west.

"This is Liangzhou."

Li Shuhu said: "To the east of Liangzhou are the six important towns of Beiqian, which are used to defend against the barbarians. To the north of Liangzhou is also a barbarian land, but in between, there is a Tianyin Mountain Range that runs from east to west."

"The north and south of the mountain range are surrounded by boundless deserts. It is impossible to tell the direction. Let alone the barbarian army, even martial arts masters would find it extremely difficult to cross the desert and climb over the Tianyin Mountains."

Chen Tang turned his gaze to the west of Liangzhou, in the direction of Wusun, and asked, "So, if the barbarians want to invade Liangzhou, they have to borrow a passage from Wusun?"

"Not bad!"

Li Shuhu secretly praised in his heart: "Brother Chen Tang reacted very quickly. He only took a few glances at the map and found the key to the problem."

Chen Tang said: "If Wusun agrees to lend the road to the barbarians, they will not be able to protect themselves. This is a plan to destroy Guo by pretending to be a king."

Li Shuhu had never heard of the idea of ​​destroying Guo by a false pretense, and was stunned for a moment.

But he probably understood what Chen Tang meant, and said, "Father also taught us this, asking my second brother to explain the pros and cons to the Wusun Great Kunmi in this way. Once the Wusun Kingdom lends its passage to the barbarians, Liangzhou will be destroyed, and the Wusun Kingdom will be in dire straits."

At this point, Li Shuhu sighed and said, "It's just that the situation in Wusun is complicated. Although the Great Kunmi is respected, the power of the Small Kunmi is not weak either."

"The elder Kunmi is young and has difficulty making a decision on this matter, but the younger Kunmi and the Prime Minister Qin think that it is not appropriate to make enemies with the barbarians, otherwise it will bring disaster upon oneself, and they should lend the road to the barbarians."

"In the court, I am not good at speaking, so only my second brother can reason with them and the situation is deadlocked."

"Later, Da Kunmi asked his master, Senior Feng, who is also known as 'One Step to the Clouds', to discuss the matter. As a result, he fell into the trap set by Xiao Kunmi and his men!"

Chen Tang frowned and asked, "Are there other masters present?"

Li Shuhu nodded and said, "The little Kunmi has long wanted to get rid of the great Kunmi, but he knows that the great Kunmi has the support of Elder Feng. Even if he is powerful and can overthrow the great Kunmi, there will be endless troubles." "In the Wusun Kingdom, Elder Feng rarely shows up, but his status is very high. After all, he is the only master in the Wusun Kingdom."

"This time, the Barbarian Lion Army borrowed his way, which gave him a chance to join forces with the Barbarians. In the court, two Barbarian Grandmasters had been waiting there in advance.

At this point, Li Shuhu paused, looking reluctant, and said, "Old Senior Feng was originally firmly opposed to lending the road to the barbarians, but unfortunately, before he could say a few words, the two barbarian masters suddenly started to attack."

"Senior Feng was caught off guard and was besieged by two great masters. He was seriously injured. A net had already been set up outside the palace, and Senior Feng was unable to escape."

Chen Tang's face was as gloomy as water and he said nothing.

No wonder the fat old man was in trouble, it turned out that two barbarian masters ambushed him secretly!
"Is the person still alive?"

After a while, Chen Tang asked.

"Should be alive."

Li Shuhu said, "I heard that he was imprisoned in the capital's prison, and they wanted to interrogate Elder Feng about his unique Qinggong skills."

"It's good to be alive."

Chen Tang murmured softly.

Li Shuhu said: "When my second brother saw two masters attacking, he realized something was wrong and asked me to escape immediately."

"At that time, the guards in the palace were all paying attention to Senior Feng, so I was able to escape during the chaos, but my second brother was caught. Alas."

"I failed to complete my father's request, and my second brother is still in prison. Although I escaped from Wusun King City, I was too embarrassed to go back. I hid here and there, but I was still spotted and hunted all the way."

Chen Tang seemed to be thinking about something.

By this time, the Barbarian Lion Army should have passed the Wusun Kingdom and were approaching the border.

Although there is also a crisis in Liangzhou, it will not be easy to capture the city after all.

With Li Yan's ability, he should be able to hold on for a while.

Right now, the most important thing is to rescue the fat old man!
Every day of delay means one more day of torture and one more day of danger.

"Can you still ride a horse?"

Chen Tang asked.

"Yes, I'll recover a lot after a good night's sleep." Li Shuhu nodded.

"Get on the horses, let's go to the Wusun Royal City." Chen Tang said.

"doing what?"

"Rescue."

"Just the two of us?"

Li Shuhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Brother Chen Tang, it's not that I'm afraid of death, I just don't want to implicate you."

"The Wusun Kingdom has been completely controlled by Little Kunmi, and the royal city is heavily guarded, like a den of dragons and tigers. With just the two of us, we really don't stand a chance of making it to the capital."

Today, Da Kunmi has been imprisoned and the situation is hopeless. If we want to rescue him now, it would be tantamount to confronting the power of the Wusun country alone.

Chen Tang pondered and said, "The two masters of the Barbarian Tribe should have left."

"They must have left. There is no point in staying in Wusun."

Li Shuhu said: "Even if there is no Grandmaster, the Wusun Kingdom also has several Xiantian warriors. The Prime Minister Qin is a top expert in the Xiantian realm. In addition, the Royal City Guards..."

Chen Tang said: "That's good, it's not a big problem."
